In this slope of a line instructional activity, students read about line graphs and plotting the slope of a line. They read about the rate of change which is represented by the slope. Students practice finding the slope of lines.

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope lesson, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Young scholars investigate functions and their transformations. They move absolute value functions around on the coordinate plane, and then define the transformation and plot the new graph. The table feature of the TI-calculator is used...

In this linear equations instructional activity, high schoolers read and interpret graphed linear equations.  They read a story problem, write a linear equation, and plot the points on a coordinate plane.  This five-page...

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

Seventh graders explore linear equations. They observe the relationship between linear equations an patterns. Students make decisions using information given in graphs to solve linear equations. They perform a toothpick activity to...

High schoolers define the term species, and graph species data together with previously collected data at the National Zoo. They interpret graphed data and recognize patterns in the streamside quadrant versus hillside quadrant. Students...

Students investigate the migration route of one bird, Osprey B4, using information gathered from satellites to track birds over a two-year period. They coimpare their graphs with maps of B4's migrations that have been plotted by...

Students find the slope using a slope formula. In this algebra worksheet, students use a pair of coordinate to identify the slope and y intercept. There are 7 questions.

Students write the equation of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students check the solution of a coordinate pair by evaluating them. They graph the circle given the equation and radius.

For this math activity, students find the slope of four lines when they are drawn on a coordinate grid. Students are given the slope and draw the line for two lines. They use the slope formula to find slope when given two points on a...

For this algebra worksheet, 9th graders graph linear equations using a line. They find values for x and y and plot them on a coordinate plane to make a line. There are 6 questions.

Students explore and discuss hurricanes, and examine how meteorologists, weather officers, and NASA researchers use measurement and data analysis to predict severe weather. They plot points on coordinate map, classify hurricanes...

Learners differentiate between a relation and a function. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify a pair of coordinates as being a relation or a function. They analyze graphs for function as they solve word problems.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 8th graders write the equation of a line given two points and given a linear equation determine the slope, x-intercept, y-intercept, and graph the line.  The five page worksheet contains ten...

In this Algebra I worksheet, students determine the graph of the equation of a line.    Students determine the x- and y-intercepts and graph. The three page worksheet contains six problems. Answers are not...

Young scholars discuss the different types of storms that can hit land. They locate specific coordinates on a plane grid. They discuss lonsgitude and latitude to plot the coordinates of a tropical storm. They practice finding...

Students work together to grid a 2 x 2 meter unit using the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem. After creating the grid, they identify the location of artifacts and create a map of their location. They develop a graph and table of their...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Where in the world are we? As a reading comprehension exercise, kids read a short passage about navigation using latitude and longitude, and then respond to a series of questions based on the article.

Young scholars convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. For this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

Young scholars calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.
